Lets say you have a student who needs tutoring in Biology. Simply go to http://frog.edschool.virginia.edu/Frog2/ and go through the online dissection together. Your student can practice skills like cutting the frog open, removing skin from muscle, and identifying the organs just like they would in the laboratory, yet they are doing it from the comfort of their home, and with you, the tutor!

Make reviewing math facts with an elementary student more entertaining and fun by going to http://funschool.kaboose.com/formula-fusion/index.html. On this website your student can practice math facts and you can compete against each other in exciting games like Action Fraction, and Dr. Brain Robot.

Pretend you have a student struggling in American history and are learning the American Revolution. Go to this website http://www.ushistory.org/march/ together and watch a marching tour of the America Revolution that is virtual. With them you can read accounts of what it was actually like to take part in the Revolution. Taking your student to these sites will assist you to make history come alive and your online tutor sessions will become more entertaining for your students.

I usually try to find a relevant web page or two as I prepare for my online tutor sessions. Students suddenly look forward to having unique sessions and are excited about where on the net I am going to take them. Every online tutor session is like a magical, educational journey, where learning is once again fun and exciting.

So, when you sit down to get ready for your next online tutor session, give it some serious thought about where you want to take your students?
